The Decaying House Of Lords.

A striking estimate Of the probable
duration Of the existence Of the house Of
lords was given by Lord Napier OF Mag
dala to the tallow chambers. As long"
said his lordship, "as the house Of lords
numbers among its members such men as
Lord Benoonsiield, Lord Tennyson and
Lord Shaftesbury I believe il will continue
TO retain the confidence of the British
people As the house no longer numbers
among its members Lord Beaconsfeld or
Lord Shaftesbury, IL appears that in Lord
Napier's estimation IL has already lost
two-thirds Of the confidence Of the people,
and II the other third is TO be measured by
the attendance Of Lord Tennyson, the
light Of the house OF lords must be waxing
almost as dim as that shed by the tallow
chambers themselves .-London Truth.

The Indian Problem.


The question was pretty fully opened
and explained to citizens of Oxford and
vicinity at a meeting held in The Presby-
terrain church at that place on the evening
of the 23rd.
BY the invitation of their pastor, Mr.. w.
Jacebus, Capt. R. H. Pratt of the Carlisle
Indian Training School came to them and
brought to his aid fourteen of his pupils
representing ten different tribes; two young
men who came with him, and twelve girls,
Tor young ladies as they may very proper

term), from near Colora, and few rep
resentatives of the families living and serv-
ing an apprenticeship in practical house
keeping.
AS this question of the education of our
Indian population is one of great practi-
cal Importance, when viewed either in
its economic and political aspect; or, in the
one Of more Importance to us, as profess.
Ing Christian nation, its moral bearings
which demand justice, mercy and truth in
our intercourse with all men Of all nations
from whom the Indian cannot be mad e an
exception; short notice of this meeting
may be OF interest to all who wish to have
correct opinions upon this subject.

A Shower Now; An Avalanche Mex

Gen. B. E. Butler may not be an
example of absolute rectitude, but he
is perfectly correct in the remark he
made before the Interstate Com
merce commissioners yesterday in
regard to the new railroad law. that
"if it was not carried out, so much
the worse for the railroads. The law
as it exists is only a slight shower;
the next warning the roads got would
be an avalanche" 1t is observed
that the railroads resist blindly and
persistently reforms the justice of
which is perfectly obvious. The fact
shows that they still to-day occupy
toward the American people, in their
opinion, the privileged position that
the French nobility occupied toward
the lower classes of France before
the revolution. They are not, they
think, the equals of the unincorporat
ed, but have the natural right to
pluck them.
The above paragraph is from the
Baltimore San. and is sure indica.
ton of the swelling of the popular
tide. A year or two ago the Sun
or for that matter, and of the city
dailies-could not have beencoaxed or
even paid to publish such paragraph
in it's columns. These boastful dai
lies claim to lead public opinion when
in fact they follow cringing at its
heels, and never dare to fight public
evil till the public is we'll engaged
and about to get the best of the
fight, then they bark in and blow.

speak out in this wise against the
crying abuse of the age, it may be set

in New York and Chicago where it is most
needed by the action of Secretary Fairchild
on Saturday. The Secretary telegraphed
to all Assistant treasurers ordering the
payment of July interest, checks and cou-
pons upon presentation. Most of the in
terest checks for this quarter have already
been mailed to the persons to whom they
are due, The remaining ones will be sent
early in the week The result of this ster
will put in circulation abont 1000 COO.
When the Secretary Of the Treasury on a
former occasion took similar action. his au-
thority for so doing was questioned, but
then as now, national necessity must
make the law. Secretary Fairchild, how
ever, states that the interest was not anti
cipated on account Of any financial appre-
hension by the government but as the
checks were made out, the sending of them
few days before the first of July would
cause no inconvenience at the De.
partment and would tend to reassure the
public.

There is growing belief here that an
extra session of Congress in Oct. is an as

as having said that an extra session of Con-
gress is necessity. But it is not safe to
put much faith in reported sayings OF
Speaker Carlisle, as he is generally very
non-committal.
A rumor was current here on Saturday
that Secretary Endicott had rendered his
resignation on account of the battle flag ep-

was denied. Washington is always full of

times they mature into great events, but
oftener fade into thin air.

Wanted to See Some Fun.


Charles Swift, II year old boy
who worked on the farm for Daniel
W. McVey, short distance from
Sylmar, was sent to the pasture field
on Thursday afternoon of last week,
to drive home the cows, and the field
adjoined the railroad. Swift being
''instigated by the deviP' as the law
books say, felt sudden desire to
'ssAe some fun" With this laudable
purpose in view he proceeded to
place a rock weighing 70 or 80
pounds on the railroad track, in such
way as to cause the wheels of the
engine to strike it. He planted one
end of the rock very securely against
a tie, with slant which would give
the greatest resistance, and then drew
off behind tree to watch the result,
and enjoy the "fun" of seeing the
cars thrown off the track and a num-
of persons probably killed and
wounded This was in advance of
the afternoon trains approach. The
engineer fortunately saw the obstruc-
ton on the track and slowed his en-.
CINE in time to prevent any serious
damage. The rock was broken by
the conclusion and the wheel of the
engine lifted from the rail, but the
engine was not derailed owing,
doubtless, to the slow rate at which
the train had been brought down to.
Suspicion centered on the guilty
party, and detective Otley who is in
the employ of the railroad company
managed to induce Swift to confess
his guilt when warrant was issued
by Justice l. R. Taylor on Saturday,
who after hearing the case commit,
ted Swift to Jail in default of $500
bail, to answer at the September term
of Court, when it is to be hoped that
the author of such demoniac fun will
be sent where he will have a guard
over him while at work. The safety
of society demands that proper meas.
ures should be taken to cut off from
it the human animals possessed of
such natural devilish depravity

Food Adulteration.

The adulteration of butter, bad as
it is, is rarely one of the least often
sive of the many adulterated food
products. There is undoubted dang
er to health and life from eating the
adulterated buffers, for it has been
demonstrated that they are filled
with living things, and that it is not
impossible for them to contain tape
worm eggs. But it is possible that
one might eat butterne or oleomar-
garine and not be injured.
We do not believe that it is
probable considering the man
ner of its manufacture, but
it is possible. But there are adulter-
ated food products that cannot pos =
sibly be taken into the human stom-
ach without doing harm. This
fact will be readily recognized when
we consider that mustard is adulter.
ated with gypsum; musty flour made
to do duty by the addition of alum
and sulphate of copper; exhausted
tea leaves doctored with venetian red
